San Julian is a beautiful coffee farm located in Palencia, 40 km from Guatemala City, it’s a small in size coffee farm, but big in quality. They produce 250 bags per year, the objective was begun on a small scale to control quality.
The owners come from a family of Swiss Mechanical Engineers who migrated to Guatemala after World War I, and established Taller Ruttimann in 1908, one of the first machine shops to ever assist coffee growers’ wet mills needs in Guatemala. their knowledge is being invested on the continuous improvement of their wet mill, and they are doing their best to transcend their European values directly into the coffee bean.
Today, 70% of the coffee produce in San Julian is roasted, packaged and sold in Guatemala City as Hogos Coffee, 20% is sold as green coffee to “high end” local roasters and 10% is exported to U.S.A., roasted and packaged under their brand and/or private labels. They also run a coffee shop, opened five years ago, located close to the Congress building in Guatemala City. Every now and then you can spot a couple of congressmen lobbying while they drink their coffee.
Their vision: honesty to the coffee tree, honesty to the workers, and honesty to the country.
We at La Boheme are very happy to bring this coffee to you, it is highly recommended and we hope you enjoy it!
